A little while ago I went on a quest to find the earliest "realistic" space simulator. Would it be from the year 2000? 1991? The early 1980s, even? But what if it was even earlier, hailing from the year of Abbey Road, Woodstock and the moon landings?

I then embarked on a longer, harder and infinitely more frustrating quest to get the very first space simulator running so I could play it. Did I succeed? Well - if I didn't, those chapter headings suggest I've just uploaded a video with 11 and a half minutes of dead air.

With many thanks to the simh team, the PDP-7 UNIX team, and the PDP-7 UNIX mailing list including some very helpful messages from Sebastian Rasmussen and Lars Brinkhoff, without which (and whom) this video would not exist in the form it does.
